I'll randomly get a particular food in my head (bagels and cream cheese, pierogis, etc.) and then can't move on from the idea! But yeah, I'm not sure if this is a craving, or just that few things actually sound good. So what I do want to eat sounds really, really good.
Mine started at 5 week's! It was anything sweet, cheese, and carbs. Last weekend at almost 7 weeks I added steak to that mix. I can't stomach much of it, but I want it bad! Even with the Zofran for nausea I still spend a lot of time with cranberry ginger ale, and green olives, or plainish carbs. Not helping constipation issues at all
No real cravings yet. I went to target today and bought soup and a baguette. And wasabi peas... And wasabi almonds. I dunno why, exactly. It just struck my fancy.
Salty food! Specifically crackers and cheese - when I realized our cheese had started growing mold I opened my sons box of cheese rocket crackers (trader joes goldfish) - I ate half the box! I normally can't stand them! I also had a bowl of his leftover Mac and cheese. Sweets have been making me nauseous - none of yall know me - but that'll be more of a giveaway to friends that I'm knocked up than not drinking!!!
Red meat, esp comfort foods. I made homemade meatballs a few weeks ago on the spur of the moment bc i NEEDED them and oh my word were they good. I was at the butcher the other day and couldn't help myself, I bought a roast and some beef short ribs to make soon
I want a Publix sub so bad and it's the one thing I can't eat!! Other than that I have random cravings. The cliche pickles, toaster strudels, and chocolate milk... also give me a double cheeseburger and fries from mcd or a frisco melt from steak n shake... cause these are soo healthy! I was really hoping I would be the girl who craved fruit/veggies...
My cravings change every day, and then once I've fulfilled them, I won't want them anymore. For a while, all I wanted was french fries and fried chicken - now the thought of anything fried makes me gag.
I've mostly been averse to sweets, but right now all I can think about is a hot, fresh brownie with crispy edges and a gooey middle with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Carmel/hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles would be an added bonus.

I think I started having cravings around 6 weeks but it is different every day. Even if I am craving something, it makes me sick. My cravings are intense now at 9 weeks....if I have a craving-- it won't get out of my mind till I eat it. Then it makes me sick and don't want to have it ever again.
I really hope I will be able to eat things I like again after the first trimester.
Anything fruity or cheesy. Mac and cheese has been big for me, even on days when everything else makes me gag. And I've been eating a ton of strawberries, mangos, fruit salad, fruit juice, smoothies.
I started craving anything with cheese around week 6... Which didn't go over well with me because I am vegan. I started bawling one night at dinner time because I was starving and just wanted papa Gino's cheese pizza... and my husband had to calm me down.
Definitely having a hard time with food unfortunately. No major cravings yet and I'm at 12 weeks now. Could not handle the thought of red meat from week 6 to 10. Finally got some hamburger and made out okay. Haha hoping I can handle food better going into second trimester. I love food always have so this is definitely hard lol
Reading
some of your posts is making me soooo jealous.
Three
of the things that I have been craving like crazy is not an option for me
because we have no Taco Bell here in Qatar, no good Thai food restaurants and
all the pickles here are the sweet ones L All I want is some Taco Bell, Thai food and dill
pickles! Ohhh… and finding good Mexican food and guacamole here is a struggle…
I miss living close to Mexico and having “real” Mexican food L
Also,
been craving cheese (I normally don’t eat a lot of cheese), and Caesar salads.
And
pretty much when I think of any place that we don’t have here in Qatar that I
miss from the states I get super depressed, lol…. Like even for things that I
never used to eat. I think it’s just because I CAN’T have it.
My
hubby is taking me to Dubai this weekend (40 min flight) just so we can pig out
on American Restaurants we don’t have—PF Chang’s, IHOP, Cheesecake Factory,
Texas Roadhouse, California Pizza Kitchen… oh em gee!!
